Kudumbasthan movie review: what critics say (6)
What critics say Critics are mostly positive with reservations: 3 of 6 rated critics gave it 3.5 or more. Praised: the performances, the script and the emotion.
While the comedy segments occasionally land well, Kudumbasthan fails to deliver the laugh riot it aspires to be, often resembling a series of YouTube sketches stitched together rather than a cohesive narrative.

Read the full reviewThis family dramedy is woven around hilarious situations and bolstered by strong performances, but its over-the-top humour and excessive plot twists ultimately undermine its potential
Read the full reviewThe sketches in this Manikandan-starrer are laugh-out-loud funny mostly, but the film suffers from the sum of the parts not being greater than the whole.

Kudumbasthan audience rating and reviews
How is the fan score worked out?
It is a Fair Score, not a plain average. Votes from brand new accounts, accounts that have rated only one film, several votes from one network, sudden bursts, and accounts that only ever give one star's films 1 or 5 stars count for less. A few early ratings cannot swing it. Nothing is hidden: we show the star bars above.
